The Unused Ex

The Unused Ex
Canda in the Office


Day after day goes on. It hasn't been a month since Maya's parents were buried.


Now, Maya's activities as a housewife are increasingly real she feels.


If she still has Ms. Rahma who helps her do some homework such as sweeping and washing, now Maya has to do the job alone.


Actually he didn't do everything himself. Because Suhan has hired a housekeeper for Maya.


The maid is Maya's own neighbor named Bu Laksmi. She was a little younger than the late Madam Rahma. So because of the consideration of age that is not much different from his in-laws that makes Suhan agree to hire his services.


Suhan hopes, at least when he was in the office, Maya did not feel too lonely at home. Although there was Birrul, their son who accompanied, still. Suhan believes, Maya also needs people to be invited to chat occasionally.


But because her age is not too young anymore, Maya also became a bit reluctant to assign homework to Bu Laksmi. So that Bu Laksmi is the one who is alert to do every homework that has not been completed by Maya.

Lately, Birrul is a bit more fussy than usual. Once checked, his body temperature was also a bit hot.


"Bi, Birrul's fever hasn't come down yet either. It was three days. Umi's permission to take Birrul to the doctor, huh, Bi?" maya asked permission via phone call.


"so.. If so, wait for Abi to come home, Um.. We'll go to the doctor later today,"


"No need, Bi. Abi work only. Let Umi anter Birrul same Rani. He wants antherin on a motorbike,"


Rani is the son of Ms. Nila, a neighbor next to their house.


"wear motors? Is it not dangerous, Um? Wait for Abi to come home later in the afternoon. Abi anterin get in the car later. It's safer.." refer Suhan back.


"It's okay, Bi. Just check into the clinic in front of the complex. God is safe. Can you, Bi? Very sorry for Birrul.. Umi can't bear to see it.."


"Yes already. But be careful, Um.. Ask Rani to take the bike slowly, yes?"


"Yes, Bi.. Abi too. Be careful at the office." Maya replied.


"Abi should be careful of what, Um? Abi's job is just sitting in front of the computer all day.."


"Yes be careful.. Keep her heart Umi, she meant." said Maya in a very slow voice. Until here, Suhan immediately understood.


He immediately realized what the message from his wife was. For the past few days, he had received several anonymous gifts claiming to be his secret admirers.


His experience was accidentally told to Maya. And now Suhan immediately regretted his carelessness. Because Maya has to worry about her condition in the office now.


"Yes, my dear Umi.. Relax aja.. Umi's heart has been stored Abi in a safe whose security status is top markotop deh!" suhan said gom bali Maya.


"Whoa. Start with the bal.. Yes, yes, Bi.. Umi wants to leave now. Mumpung not too pa nas.."


"Well.. Even fled. But yes it is.. Be careful, Love.. Abi too, put his heart on Abi huh, Um.. Uhibbuki yes Umi.."


Blushes..


Maya's face instantly blushed red instantly. Not because of the weather or anything. But because he heard the expression of love from the husband for a moment.


"Assalamu'alaikum Abi's.."


"Waa'aikum.."


Suhan did not finish answering his greetings, suddenly Maya added again. This time with a barely audible voice.


Clik.


And the phone line was cut off suddenly.


Across there, Suhan immediately gave a wide grin after hearing a declaration of love from his wife. Maya rarely expressed love for him. So when a moment like that happened, then it became an encouragement booster for Suhan in work.


"Yo sh! Bismillah!" suhan exclaimed excitedly.


"Ouch.. The editor seems very excited. Who's the same phone call?" janda Erik, one of Suhan's subordinates in the office.


"Together my beloved dong, Rik. Then, you hunt gih married.. Getting married really makes life more meaningful and happy!"


"Ah.. Mr. Suhan ngarang. What I see from other friends, marriage even makes their heads so slippery. Alias makes you dizzy, so you're bald!"


"Ahh.it's their fault, Rik.. They just haven't found the right partner, or they're not good at thanking what they already have.. Though the key to a happy life should be good at gratitude, Rik.." Suhan said back.


"Yes, sir. But still, I have not been tempted to follow the status of the Father. I still want to be single in a few years,"


"Seriously you, Rik? What if your time in this world is not up to a few more years? Then you won't even marry, how about hayo?"


"Dih.. geez, sir.don't swear me dong fast, sir.."


"Sorry. sorry. No, no one knows where that age is. So should we not maximize the time available to live as well and as happily as possible? Aye right?"


Until here, Suhan's subordinates were instantly dumbstruck silently. While Suhan himself returned to focus on sorting some paragraphs that needed to be removed from the ebook he was assessing. The ebook will be published in print next month. So Suhan was scrambling to correct the contents of the book.


After a long time, Erik said.


"If so, please find me a girl who is beautiful, smart, shalihah, rich, and also smart to cook, sir. I want to get married." said Erik suddenly.


Suhan turned back to his subordinate. And then he commented,


"You if you ask for the criteria, don't be too top, Rik.. Find the same one as mefu' you.. Hopefully later you can not be a priest for the woman you crave.."


"Ooh.. Is that right, sir?"


"Yes not really.." replied Suhan with origin.


"What do you mean sir?"


"That is, you may ask the perfect woman to God through prayer.. But there's a butya, Rik.."


"But what, sir?" Now Erik started leaning his head towards Suhan. The man completely ignored the pile of files he had to read on the computer, just for the sake of hearing the continuation of Suhan's sentence.


"But the thing is, it's the girl, the perfect one, will you not be, Rik?" suhan said a little to mark Erik.


Hearing that, Erik's face immediately scowled in annoyance.


"Well.. You even make me feel inferior.."


"Huhaha..!!"


At that moment Suhan's laughter broke out, filling the void there.
